KKBB (Bakersfield, CA)
- The One Who Really Loves You-Mary Wells (Rhythmically and lyrically, this could segue with multiple versions of "It Takes Two To Tango." Rosie & The Originals also do a strong version.)
- Come Back To Me-Janet Jackson (No surprise that this was a huge hit in 1990, as it's one of Jackson's most endearing ballads.)
- Christopher Tignor: What You Must Make Of Me (Christopher Tignor, violin) (This celestial-sounding electronic soundscape would work as dramatic new age underscoring.)
- Julia Kent: Through The Window (Julia Kent, cello) (A hypnotic journey-through-the-cosmos-style loop.)
- Michael Harrison: Raga Prelude I (Yaman) (Maya Beiser, cello; Michael Harrison, piano) (Movingly melodic with excellent synergy between performers.)
- Resavoir-Resavoir (This track pulls off an intriguing double retro trick; it sounds like samples of '70s free form jazz recordings, not wedded to one tempo, remixed in '90s acid jazz style. Actually, it's from 2019. All this, and seagulls, to boot...)
- Guide-Steve Lacy (I hear a Prince influence in the vocals and bass funk line; one of this year's catchier releases.)
